Back in June of 2014, My small Level one class practiced a song written by me and the other Level One teacher, Varia Herring. She filmed it on her cell phone and I thought it turned out pretty cool for the one week we had to have our students learn it and get it filmed for one of our activities called Nomen Idol! It is a parody of the popular video called Gangnam Style, so we had to try to fit the words to the same rap beat of that song from Korea.
Hope you will take a look at the video. I am the dancing teacher in it!

Nomen global style, Nomen style
1. I’m in this school because I’m learning real English.
I’m walking down the hallway and I’m speaking only English.
Here comes my homey, and he‘s telling me some stuff in English.
Yes, we rock! We know English
It’s a party here! We love our school activities on Mondays.
Party here! We get to have some rest from work on Sundays.
Party here! We listen, speak, and study grammar here.
Party here, it’s a party here!
Getting funky because we’re spunky, looking cool. We are looking cool.
See us splashing. We’re looking smashing in the pool that is next to school.
With my English speaking friends right after school.
Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style.
Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style.
Chorus: Hey, speak in English. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style.
I want good English. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style.
2. Here comes a text because I feel my phone’s vibration.
I hope it’s not my mom or King Abdullah’s administration.
I want to check my Facebook or find some games to play,
but I choose to put my phone away.
It’s our final test. We now have to take our final test.
Final test, and teacher tells us to do our best.
It’s our final test. Teacher tells us we cannot cheat!
But if I fail, I can repeat!
And on Friday we’ll go to Subway or some show, Ethan should know.
To the mountains or to some concert we will go. . In ProVO.
If I constantly use English, I will grow ow ow ow.
Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style.
Nomen style. Yep yep yep yep yep Nomen Global style.
Hey, no cheating! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Nomen Global style.
Hey, speak in English. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Nomen Global style.
3. Everyone is having so much fun.
Baby baby come to school. Don’t be so dumb.
Everyone is having so much fun.
Baby baby come to school. Don’t be so dumb.
Hey, speaking English, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Nomen Global style.
Hey, speaking English, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, Nomen Global style.
